Note to the installer:
Please leave this instruction boo
with the consumer for the local
electrical inspector’s use.
Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
To prevent damage, install cabinetry
and the venting hood before install-
ing the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F /100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion.
The cooktop can only be installed
as shown in the illustrations, while
maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between 2 tall cabinets as this
is a fire hazard.
A minimum distance of 2" (50 mm)
from the cooktop to the rear wall and
a side wall must be maintained for
safety.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
(127mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.

This equipment has not been
designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as
aircraft or recreational vehicles. How-
ever, under certain circumstances it
may be possible for an installation in
these applications. Please contact the
nearest Miele Dealer or Technical
Service Department with specific
requirements.
Because of the heat radiated
downwards from this type of
appliance we do not recommend
installing it over a drawer. It should be
installed in a cabinet base unit with a
dummy drawer front and an additional
protective base between the appliance
and the cabinetry.
If, in spite of this, there is a drawer
directly underneath the cooktop, do not
store aerosols, combustible liquids or
easily flammable materials in it. If
cutlery inserts are placed in the drawer,
they must be heat resistant.
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, a washing
machine or tumble dryer, or over a
refrigerator or freezer. The high radiant
temperatures radiating downwards from
this type of cooktop could damage
these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come into
contact with any mechanical parts once
the cooktop has been installed.
Observe local building codes.
Minimum safety distance
above the appliance
bMaintain a safety distance of at least
30" (760 mm) between the appliance
and any flammable objects above,
e.g. cabinetry, venting hood or
utensil rail. If the manufacturer of
these items states a different figure,
then this safety distance should be
adhered to.
If more than one appliance is
installed beneath a venting hood,
and they have different minimum
safety distances to the hood, adhere
to the greater safety distance.

aSpring clips
bThere must be at least 3 3/16" (81mm)
of usable depth on the right side of
the cut out.
^Make the countertop cut-out following
the dimensions given in the
illustration.
^Remember to maintain a minimum
distance of 2" (50) mm between the
rear wall and a right or left hand side
wall. See also "Important Safety
Instructions".
^Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
sealant to avoid swelling caused by
moisture. The materials used must be
heat resistant.
If, during installation, the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop on the corners, the
corner radius max. R4 (3/16") can be
carefully filed down to fit.

Granite countertops
For granite countertops, the spring
clips amust be placed in position and

Installing the coo top
^Feed the power cord down through
the cut-out and connect the
appliance to the power supply.
^Position the cooktop on the spring
clips a.
^Then with a hand on each side of the
cooktop press down on the edges
evenly until it clicks into position.
When doing so make sure that the
cooktop seal sits tightly on the
countertop to ensure a correct seal is
provided.
The cooktop can now only be
removed with a special tool.
The cooktop must not be perm-
anently sealed into the countertop
when installed.
If the cooktop is sealed into position,
the countertop or appliance could be
damaged if the cooktop needs to be
removed for maintenance or service.
The sealing strip under the edge of the
top part of the cooktop provides a
sufficient seal for the countertop.
